A talo dramatic as any related in sonff or story was told' by James A. Iiurns, president of Oneida institute, Oneida, Ky.. to members and quests of the Progress club Saturday afternoon in a manner at onco disarming and captivating. A slow drawl defying imitation, a dialect peculiar to the Cumberland mountain region from whenco he came, and a subtle humor combined to make his story of the salvation of the mountaineers of Kentucky from their self-imposed slavery to feudism effective to the last degree. Mr. Iurns Is himself a Kentucky mountaineer tiveil from the yok 1 of feudism by a father who with vision for his boys, removed them early from the scene of the bloody mnuntan feuds but instilled in them a lasting love for their mountain home. Mr. Hums' stol.- of his return to his boyhood iom during early manhood, his subsequent four years as an active member of the warring factions in the mountains, his realization of the futility of the struggle and of the necessity for its end, culminating in his final decision to appeal to the foul leaders through their love for their children which resulted in the foundation of Oneida institute, where the children of 'The Iiakers and the Howards" rub elbows during the progress of their emancipation from the illiteracy and degeneracy of their forefathers, was tilled with incidents rivaling in dramatic Incident th stroles of a John Fox, Jr., or a Harold Pell Wright. Founded by Illiterates. Oneida institute was founded by a group of mountaineers, half of whom were not able to sign their names to the charter of incorporation, with not a cent of capital, and accommodations for 50 pupils. It has grown until it now has in itspossession property and building worth $130,000, faculty of Iß teachers, and a student body of f00 members. Financial difllculties have formed a barrier to its jrroatcr growth and at one time Mr. Hums was obliged to take to the lecture platform to interest people in th institution that it might not hav to be discontinued entirely. Mr. Hums was presented by the general club in observance of educational dav and his lecture mor-' than fulfilled expectations In both spiritual and Americanization as well as educational lines.

ELKS APPOINT COMMITTEE FOR P0STAL DRIVE Chairman Yeagley Will First Consult With Chamber of Commerce.

JACOBSON EXPLAINS ATTITUDE Appointment of a small committee of prominent citizens to present South Hend's needs for better post oUice facilities to the postal department at "Washington and to Congressman A. J. Hickey and Sens. James K. "Watson and Harry S. New wan offered as the iirst actual step to be taken in an effort to obtain better mail facilities here, at a meeting of citizens at the Flks temple Saturday afternoon. The, meeting w.s called to disuss ways and means to secure a arge post cilice building here. Reports of present congested conditions at the South Rend post office vere submitted by Mrs. J. N. Hunter and II. O. Greiger. The suggestion that a committee of representative citizens be appointed to go to Washington to lay the matter before the federal postal authorities was made by Anthony Wolf. Defends Elks. Mr. Wolf said that a series of meetings of citizens in regard to the ost ofiico situation would accomplish nothing. He then offered the ommitteo suggestion, after he had defended the position of the Klks' edge here in starting the movement for better pest office facilities. He said that some citizens had wonderd why tho movement had not been darted by the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Wolf said that all citirens of South Bend should be behind the movement. Tho question of financing a committee from here to Washington camo up. Several of tho?o present aw no objection to allowing the Chamber of Commerce to carry on the movement if it were able to finance tho committee. "If the Chamber of Commerce is nable to pay the expenses cf a eommittee to Washington. I see no -eason why the Elks should not father tho movement," declared one speaker. Gives Chamber's Position. Alexander Jacobson, secretary of fho commercial bureau of the chamber, and representing It at the post office meeting, explained the vhamber's position. He said: "The Chamber of Commerce at .ill times is ready to lo everything n its power and will leave no stone unturned for the good of South Rend. Hut since Mr. Green took charge of the chamber three months ago. at a time when there were only three employes, we have added 12 persons to the payroll, and we are only able to spend money for dlro necessities. For that reason I do not believe that the Chamber of Commerce could pay the expenses of a committee to Washington. "However," continued Mr. Jacobsen, "if any of you will examine our program of work, you will find that just such a thing as you are discussing hero this afternoon is there. We have not had time to get to it yet as there are many things that came ip ahead of it." The meeting authorized John G.
